520 1 "This book tells the inspirational stories of men and
women across the globe who fought for peace, freedom,
equality; and human rights throughout the twentieth
century. These courageous individuals include leading
figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Franklin and Eleanor
Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Vaclav
Havel, and Mikhail Gorbachev; as well as Nobel Prize
winners Aung San Suu Kyi, Andrei Sakharov; and Muhammad
Yunus. Readers will be reminded why Pope John XXIII, long
overshadowed by the charismatic John Paul II, was the
greatest pope of contemporary times."
520 8 "A new generation will learn that Margaret Sanger was
responsible for the single most important advance toward
the liberation of women worldwide. They will also come to
know some of the valiant women who fought at great
personal risk for equal rights in Muslim communities.
Warren Cohen highlights the vital roles of Bram Fischer,
Helen Suzman, and Donald Woods in fighting apartheid in
South Africa and of Jack Greenberg in the struggle against
Jim Crow in America. He traces Liu Binyan's efforts to win
freedom of the press and to end the abuse of power by the
Chinese communist Party. Finally, he recounts the
remarkable stories of some of the thousands of men and
women of many nationalities and walks of life who rescued
Jews during the Holocaust. Together, these biographies
paint an unforgettable portrait of the famous and unsung
people who stepped forward with the moral vision to
intervene, often at great personal cost, to alleviate
human misery."--Jacket.
